My very personal use-case suggests this behaviour: if the device has a
label, use that (/mnt/label), otherwise the block device name for
brevity.
If I don't know whatever I plugged in, I would ls whatever there is.
Or run blkid.

Probably though, being a tool that would work independently from file
managers and DEs, the UUID would be a better choice, because `ls /mnt`
would be everything you need to inspect whatever is mounted.
